A convenience sample of 24 more experienced, 20 less experienced, and 20 novice nurses assessed videotaped infants in varying degrees of pain (none, mad, moderate, and severe), as determined by an expert panel. Participants identified all information they used in making an assessment (AU cues) and that subset they deemed most important (Key cues). Data were analyzed using a two-level analysts of variance (level of assessed pain and pediatric nursing experience). Forty-five of the 62 cues mentioned by participants did not differ across levels of pain Eleven AU cues and 1 I Key cues differed between infants in pain and not in pain, suggesting that these cues may be potentially useful as predictors of the presence/absence of pain. Three AU cues differed both between pain and no pain as well as between levels of pain, which suggests that participants' awareness of subtle levelings might be used in the discrimination of a wider range of pain levels. Differences in cue utilization among the more experienced, less experienced, and novice participants are discussed.
